Gen-Wyld: Beyond Natural

This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a sheet of A7 paper and just as difficult to conceal.

Spend a Quick Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into a chosen Object. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.

The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), and can take on a different size, shape, and weight to the Artifact.

The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) or any situation which makes the size/weight disparity particularly noticeable will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.

When used as identification and scanned, the scanner will act appropriately and bring up appropriate generic information. Further searches for the identity in the computer will turn up no results.

This Artifact can be used as a shotgun. It is roughly the same size as a shotgun but can be collapsed into Shotgun Shell Bandolier and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.
